The news that the Shen family had fabricated salt, supported the enemy, and collaborated with bandits was like a depth bomb exploding in the city of Yangzhou.

The whole Yangzhou was shaken.

As for the Shen family, they are the richest people in Yangzhou City.

The Shen family undoubtedly deserves credit for Yangzhou's current prosperity.

But now, all the Shen family's shops have been sealed up, and the Shen family's yard has also been surrounded.

All workers, including those employed by the Shen family, were also detained.

For a time, the streets were crowded with people watching the fun.

"Sir, the common man is wronged. The common man is just a porter. How can he be an enemy..."

"You work for the Shen family, why don't you join the enemy? Let's go!" The leader of the government servants waved the long whip in his hand, and the porter was beaten to pieces in an instant, and he kept wailing.

For a moment, everyone who was arrested felt sad.

Even though they cried out for injustice, no one stood up to avenge them.

Didn’t you see that the Shen Family Courtyard was demolished?

But those who stood aside to watch the show did not know that they were the common people, as well as the large and small business gangs in Yangzhou City!

These people are like sharks smelling fishy smell, ready to take a piece of meat from the Shen family at any time.

But some people are cautious.

"Now things have become big and difficult to deal with!"

"The Shen family is finished!" A man said: "Allowing the enemy and collaborating with bandits is a major crime against the nine clans."

"Stupid, don't forget who is standing behind the Shen family!" A middle-aged businessman said: "It's better to wait and see!"

Soon, all these people were escorted to the Yangzhou Magistrate's Yamen.

The number of people turned out to be over 2,000.

This shows how big the Shen family's business is in Yangzhou.

"Your Majesty, the Shen family's property has been seized. Most of the suspects have been arrested and brought to justice, and there are still a small number of arrests outside." The chief arrester of the prefect's Yamen said.

Inspector Zhao, who was following closely behind the Inspection Department, arrested the people from the Shen Family Salt Shop and said, "I'm telling you, Sir, the people from the Shen Family Salt Shop have been arrested and incarcerated. This is the Shen Family's fake salt guide!"

Immediately afterwards, he handed over a small pile of salt in his hand.

This salt guide is divided into big salt guide and small salt guide.

Big salt brings four hundred catties, small salt brings two hundred catties.

After taking the salt, you can mix it with salt and then go to the place designated by the government to sell it.

Originally, salt was a government exclusive business, but over time it was prone to problems, and private salt could not be held back, which was extremely harmful to the interests of the court.

With this salt guide, this phenomenon is much better.

Therefore, counterfeit salt is a serious crime and will inevitably be severely punished.

Tong Quan took the salt and nodded, "Since the Shen family is said to be a bandit, where are the witnesses?"

"Your Excellency, they have been taken out of the sky prison!" said the chief catcher: "A few days ago, we captured a few pirates, none other than Fan Jianglong, Zhou Zilong, who was causing trouble in the Huaihe River.

After being tortured and interrogated at a low level, it was discovered that a large part of the Shen family's salt had flowed to the sea.

In addition, Zhou Zilong is suspected of being the work of Zhang Zhou, please be careful!"

These words made the people watching outside take a breath.

Good guy, the evidence is really there.

Soon, Zhou Zilong was escorted to the lobby.

People born in Zilong this week are tall and tall, with evil looks on their faces, their arms are thicker than some women's thighs, their backs are strong and their waists are strong, and their yellow teeth are sticking out, as if they want to eat people.

The scars all over his body are layered on top of each other, which looks particularly scary.

"Are you Zhou Zilong?" Wu Lin was also called over to assist, and officials from the prefecture's Yamen and the Operations Department came.

He is determined to turn this case into a solid case and make it impossible for the Shen family to stand up.

"It's your grandpa!" Zhou Zilong was pinned to the ground. Although he was in a state of embarrassment, his head was held high and he looked around, looking scornful of the world.

"How brave, how dare you speak harshly when you are about to die!" Wu Lin said coldly: "I want to ask you, did the Shen family sell you any salt?"

"Of course there is no such thing!" Zhou Zilong sneered: "Don't waste your efforts, grandpa will never tell you until he dies!"

Tong Quan's face looked ugly, but he secretly praised Zhou Zilong's acting skills this week. If he was asked, he would tell you that it was fake.

"Don't tell me? I'll be punished!" Tong Quan said coldly: "This is the magistrate's office, do you still think you are in a bandit's den?"

"Guan Guan, if you can, kill me, kill me...ah..."

The moment the punishment was inflicted, Zhou Zilong screamed, and the people who saw him felt chills in their hearts.

Those Shen family workers who were implicated were even more frightened.

Even if they can't stand a vicious person like Zhou Zilong, how can they bear it?

In just two quarters of an hour, Zhou Zilong had turned into a bloody man. He fell softly to the ground and said: "I've done it, I've done it all..."

The torture officer sneered: "You've already done this in prison, so if you speak harshly now, aren't you asking for trouble?"

"The Shen family did send salt to us, but I'm not sure it must be the Shen family. After all, how could the Shen family do such a decapitation blatantly?

They have specialized people to contact us and put the salt in a specific location, and our people will go there to pick it up and leave the money." Zhou Zilong said weakly.

"I want evidence!" Tong Quan scolded: "Not your specious speculation!"

"Real business talks are all between us, the boss. Once, our boss got drunk and let the news slip.

He said that he had known Shen Wanqian a few years ago and the two of them had some contact. Otherwise, you would have arrested our boss.

Are you arresting Shen Wanqian and prying his mouth open?" Zhou Zilong mocked.

"Sir, the Shen family also needs to be interrogated, but according to my opinion, the Shen family will not be so stupid. Even if they did do it, most likely they did it secretly..." Wu Lin said.

Tong Quan nodded, "We can't let a bad person go, and we can't wrongly accuse any good person."

As he said that, he looked at Inspector Zhao, "Besides this fake salt guide, what else did you find?"

"We also caught a few people. These people are all wanted for committing crimes!" Inspector Zhao handed over his hand and then explained what happened.

The people outside have heard about it now.

It turned out that after Zhou Zilong was arrested and brought to justice, the prefect's Yamen focused on the Shen family, but because there was no evidence, they could only collect it secretly.

No, it took a month or two to pry Zhou Zilong's mouth open, and then the Inspection Department also made a progressive breakthrough and caught the murderer who worked for the Shen family.

In this way, everything is connected.

These people are wanted criminals to begin with, and their heads are always in their belts. Selling salt, subsidizing the enemy, and collaborating with bandits is not a big deal to them.

In this way, a complete chain of evidence is clearly presented in front of everyone.

Moreover, both human and physical evidence are available.

When Inspector Zhao finished speaking, the people outside started to curse.
